Western masters, the Sarvāstivāda masters living west (around<br> the Gandhāra region) of Kaśmīra.  +

This is in contrast to tattva-manaskāra  +
Knowledge of non-arising (of all defilements). In the case of the <br>non- retrogressive type of arhat (—►asamaya-vimukta, aparihāna-dharman),<br> the moment of the knowledge of exhaustion is immediately<br> followed by the arising of this knowledge.  +
